If you see this color in person, you'll know why it's called Gotta Have It Green
Jackpot.. that's the color Austin should have on his TL
or

Matt, you should rethink about it
White with that green would be amazing

Pic?
Reason I want to paint or plastidip my stockies is because , especially the inside
I clean it, gets dirty again
Using barkerpers friend didn't come to my mind, I guess that might clean the rims well, with some metal sponge

Anil, come on over-I've got Top Gun in 7.1 surround sound!


It's my favorite movie......obviously.



By the way, if you want to see an awesome Naval movie (like Top Gun), see if you can find a movie called "The Final Countdown".

Understandable. Quick question though. Is it just the US spec'd Audi's that have all the issues? Is that why your dad is staying away from them? I read somewhere that the gas isn't as refined here as it is in Europe.

I should make that my sig

Yes only US spec Audi. People do 300,000 miles with German cars in Istanbul and still runs perfect.
They call me crazy when I talk about problems we had on German cars here...

Gotta blame the company. They are the one that decides the quality depending on the country. My mom's side is from Germany, her dad mom brother nephew blah blah
Her brother went to school there and was working at MBenz. He told us that every country we send cars has a percentage of quality or something. He said Istanbul was one of the cities that had top quality... that's true, everyone there are crazy for car...

Us was at lowest quality
Now come and make my dad buy an Audi

Oh nono feel free, SB add Austin's name to the title please
I love it but!!!!!!!!!!! it's the tone that makes it great
Since I've just saw it on a black TL
You should do green in that tone :hidingfromJ:

Who did that paint job? Do you know the codes? To be honest I say, go for it

What's SAR party


------

Trip was amazing, well 3rd time visiting FL but I didn't have AZ back then

1 day Miami, 2 days Disney world

Camaro
Car is fast, goes like a tank but not quick
My TL feels quicker (big reason why I love TL)

I was fully loaded with nav and headup display
Nav is great. So fast I mean you don't even wait for a second for something to load

Lighting and quality of interior is at least better than Challenger or Charger..maay be Mustang too

I was amazed with the traction control. After we had lunch, it was raining and I tried to kick out the rear end while exiting the lot

Car didn't
I hit it 2 times and still couldn't turn the rear end
Forgot to turn off the TC

That powerfull TC unlike BMWs
but after you turn it off, oh boi and after turning off the stability control as well party time

Didn't love the pedal shift on dads old RL, loved it on Camaro
I guess with that much power and RWD, holding the steering all the time felt fun while shifting and sliding

Happy to see J and Austin and others
Met Adam as well, didn't know him from AZ (not active)
Met with Austin and drove to meeting for 60miles
and such......

It was fun to be there

Of course got many pictures but have to sleep it's 350 right now

I agree with Jeremy....

damn Meko...you were a complete douche for passing him like that....you know right if he/she would have brake checked you, you would have ended up in the median wall....

i am all for going fast, dont get me wrong, but I dont hit 145 when there is traffic on the road....you need to head to the track for all that....cutting through traffic is my favorite thing but i dont carry more than 100mph as an unpredictable move by someone and next thing you know if, you end up killing someone or yourself....

cut your VTEC some slack and enjoy the lower rpms a little bit man....and I hope you posted the video as unlisted and not public....you dont want the cops tracking you down....

Oh oh I just hand washed my car, rims are sooo clean again

Used that exhaust cleaner on the rims and god it works
Forgot what it was called, that powder exhaust cleaner... to be honest no need for wheel spray cleaner haha

and waxed the headlights
Have some pics to upload as well, but first pictures from the meeat

-

Oh beep, let me make it unlisted
Nah, I leave 0.1 sec to make a move, I am thinking about those possibilities but reason why I got mad was he didn't turn on signals and the second I was about to pass him from right lane, he started to pass there
Can't really notice that I am passing to right lane
So move or go
and while I was passing he slowed down and tried to go straight instead of passing to right lane

Hey Meeks...believe it or not, I do recall my summer's in Switzerland. My uncle was VERY into the formula one driving and I remember the summer when Senna died. Very vividly, actually...we're like European brothers. I make fun of you, but I have an affinity for you...and your ability to be the crazy real person you are.

It's in our blood bro!!


I don't remember Senna...
I remember 97'-99'
those times with Hakkinen vs Schumi and hated Benz and loved Ferro... but really really hated Hakkinen

Dude that affinity is the reason how we started to talk remember?
I didn't know you at first when I joined here... or didn't really had a talk
